How I Would Counter Act The Repugs Letter......
First - take a vote on the extension of unemployment benefits. Let the Repugs block it. Shout it out that the Repugs voted down extending unemployment benefits for those most hurting Americans.

Second - take a vote on the START treaty. Let the Repugs block it. Shout it out that the Repugs are soft on security and are putting the country in danger.

Third = take a vote on DADT. Let the Repugs block it. Shout it out that the Repugs are homophobes and are voting against the wishes of both the majority of the American people and the majority of those in the military.

Then - take a vote on the extension of the tax cuts - only for those at $250,000 or less. Let the Repugs block it. Shout it out that the Repugs are denying tax breaks for the majority of Americans and are trying to fatten the pockets of the wealthy that have sucked the middle class dry.

Let it be known that the Repugs are blocking everything at the expense of the American people and are only doing it for political reasons.

Call their bluff. Back them into a corner. Make them look real bad in the eyes of the majority of the American people. Let those that voted for these guys have voters remorse.

Take them on. Don't back down.

If the tax cuts have to expire. So be it. Let them be the ones that caused the American people to dig deeper into their pockets for the sake of politics.

Mr. President - we got your back. Don't let them make a mockery of your Presidency.

1. Why would they care if the tax cuts expire?
They will just take credit for cutting taxes for all Americans- retroactively, when they are seated in January.

2. Take the Letter in Hand and get on every and I mean every TV
Show--Cable and Broadcast sytems. Read excerpts from
the Letter. Contrast that to Pres Obama having
Republicans to White House.

It will take about 3 days to hit every show. But
you have to get the attention of every American
you can.

Hit your message hard. Show that at every turn
the Republicans rebuffed Democrats and Obama.
